Hypocrites R Us: Obama appeals to the 1% for campaign money

The man who has used class warfare as a means of advancing his re-election campaign is simply shameless:

Speaking in a dimly lighted, art-filled room, Obama told supporters they would play a critical role in an election that would determine a vision for the nation’s future.

"You’re the tie-breaker," he said. "You’re the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes."

Among the celebrities on hand to hear Obama’s remarks were Oscar winner Meryl Streep, fashion designer Michael Kors and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who moderated a private question-and-answer session between the president and the guests. Broderick, who was starring in a Broadway musical, was absent.

Nice group of one-percenters, Mr. President. Apparently though, this is the “good” 1% (he’s also knee deep in appeals to the “bad 1%” as well, i.e. the Wall Street crowd) who, per Obama, are the “ultimate arbiter[s] if which direction this country goes”.

Really? Anna Wintour? Meryl Streep? Sarah Jessica Parker?

Tell me folks, are George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Spike Lee, Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres and Cher who you look too for advice or direction on which way this country goes? Yeah, me neither.

Man will say anything for money, won’t he? And then he’ll turn on a dime and condemn the other side for taking special interest money.

Look up Valorie Jarrett some time. Close presidential confidante…maybe closest. Never came up hard. At. All. Solid 1%er. A Chicago aristocrat and slum queen grifter. These are the kinds of people Obama prefers…when he lets any people near him.

“”You’re the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes.””
I was completely in sync on this and thinking exactly what you wrote – they’re the arbiters? Good God, we’re dead, we might as well run down the flags, fold them up and call it a day. Whoever leaves last can turn the lights out.

This whole philosophy just pisses me off. I wouldn’t let these people watch my dogs, let alone be the arbiter’s of the direction my country will take.

I comprehend how the entertainers seek to be liked by the proles, presenting themselves as being on the side of the little guy.
I just don’t understand why so many of those proles worship the entertainers for their hypocritical political posturing.

“It is elites who are creating a conventional wisdom that an incumbent president must run on his economic performance — and therefore must convince voters that things are moving in the right direction.”
